Presumably the enormous ones that already can't cope will be beefed up. Yeah? Yeah?

Re: Northern Ireland review says there are too many hospitals

With this country being so damn rural, it would be difficult to get any critically ill patients to one of the "enormous ones" in decent time, I reckon.
I dunno ... 10 does seem a heck of a lot, but the geographical location covered by them is pretty big.
